OPEN - CRCT - BRIXIE hexi-onesie (NB - 24mos)

Hi! I’m Kristin from EkkoKnits, and I’m looking for 12 crocheters to test my new pattern, the Brixie Zip Suit, before it launches on Fri Nov 27. Brixie starts from the hexi-cardi idea you may already know: two hexagon panels, folded and joined. I’ve added shaped shoulders and neckline, a brick-stitch texture and a full-length zipper, so it finishes as a colourful zip suit that fits a baby. Sizes: NB-3 (3-6, 6-12, 12-24) months, chest 17½ (20, 23, 25) in Yarn: DK, I used Hobbii Amigo (100% acrylic); about 130 g/ 500yds for NB-3 and 240 g/950 yds for the 12-24, in 5 to 7 colours Hooks: 4.5 mm (G-7) and 3.5 mm (E-4); Gauge: 3 blocks × 3 round pairs = 2 × 2 in Notions: a non-separating zipper Skill: intermediate; you’ve finished a garment and are happy to set a zipper by hand Timeline: starts the day you’re accepted, asking to finish by Tuesday Nov 24 (accelerated for Holiday launch). For reference, each of my 5 samples took only 3-5 days from start to finish, so please don’t be deterred by the shortened timeline! Interested in testing Brixie? Please DM me or reply to this thread with: Size: Which size would you like to test? NB–3, 3–6, 6–12, or 12–24 months. Experience: Have you tested crochet patterns before? Please link to your Ravelry projects so I can see your work. Availability: How do you feel about committing to Nov 24 deadline? Materials: Do you have DK-weight yarn available, or can you obtain it in time? Fit testing: Do you have access to a baby in the selected size range? (Helpful, but not required!) I’m especially looking for testers who can provide detailed feedback on stitch counts, construction, fit, and pattern clarity. You don’t need a social media following to participate! I will select testers as applications come in and send the pattern right away, so the sooner you apply, the more time you get. Final pattern will be gifted to all testers who complete the project. Thank you and happy crocheting!
